[Planning] Speaking of the LULA server...

[Christopher Smith]

To answer Kevin's question, several folks have access to the server. 
I've tended to let Peter and Ron handle web site updates. I'm happy to 
create accounts for people. Just send me an SSH public key and I'll 
setup your accounts. This avoids the "insecurely e-mail them" part of 
the problem.

On a larger note though, we *really* need to do something about LULA's 
server. I think it's been about 2 years now that that sucker has been 
"about" to be replaced.

This is a serious problem because in it's present form it is an 
eminently hackable device with a seriously hacked up mail setup. It 
appears that it is being used by spammers for all kinds of stuff (I am 
getting about 60+ messages a day that represent bounced spam that was 
routed through the lula server).

I know we've had a machine due to take over for some time, but that 
seems to have been stalled for reasons that aren't clear to me. I can't 
personally take the time to see this through, but I'd really appreciate 
it if someone, or a group of someone's would. There does appear to be a 
machine at www2.lula.org, but I'm not sure if that is ready to be 
converted over to being lula's server.

Who wants to take the lead on this?
